In the Maryland Annual Conference of the
methodist Protestant Church, GSass.yday, /,
Rev. Z. j. Drinkhouse, of Baltimore, editor
of the Methodist Protestant, submitted paper
to the conference for approval, recommending
that a communication from the board of trus-
tees of the Western Maryland College re-
uuesting the endowment society to waive
the priority of the mortgage upon the
Western Maryland College to the extent of
seventy thousand dollars to enable the said
board of trustees to negotiate loan upon
mortage to an amount not exceeding said sum
for the purpose of erecting building neces-
sary for the growing demand of said institu-
ton shall be approved.
DR.. T. II. Lewis, president of the Western
Maryland College, spoke in behalf OF the
adoption of the paper. DIR. Lewis said that
ewing to the increase in the number of stu
dents, and owing to the fact that many more
are expected, the institution should have a
large chapel or auditorium, larger dining
rooms, larger dormitory for lady students,
bath rooms and many other modern improve
ments. He also suggested the idea of heating
the building with steam and of lighting it with
electricity. The paper was adopted.
The committee on boundaries, in their re-
port, Recommend that Harmony and Bethesda
Churches constitute Rovlapasyille Circuit,
and that Porter's Grove Church be separate
charge and be supplied with minister at this
discretion of the president. The report was
adopted.
Prot. T. +. Rinehart, the musical director
at the Western Maryland College, gave piano
recital at Music Hall, Easton, Saturday after

ference attended.

Letter from Charles L. shipley.
PlKEsvlL1.E, Mp., April 18th, 1887.

PIKEsvlLLE, Nd, April 18th, 1887.
Messrs. Eanderford Bros Il had the pleas
ure on Easter Monday to be in your city to
witness your county's celebration of the fif
tieth anniversary of her birth. Fifty years!
halfa century-what changes have taken place
in your county in that period; hundreds of
those who participated in the ceremonies OF
fifty years ago, have passed away, among
whom was my father, who participated in the
ceremonies attending the formation Of your
county, and also in the one concerning the
laying of the ner-stone ofthe Court House,
in 1888, he being at that time a member of
Capt. Geo. Bramwelfs Independent Rifle
Company, of Finksburg, it being one of the
military companies that attended the ccremo-
MES on that occasion, During the War of
1872, my grandfather resided on and managed
the estate known as "Bolling Green" which
is situated in what is now Howard county,
then known as Anne Arundel county. The
estate at that period belonged to Benjamin
Hood, grandfather to President John NJ.
Hood, of the W. NJ. r. r. Here, on this
estate, on September 6, 1914, my father was
born, and from here also my grandfather was
drafted for the battle of North Point, Septem-
Der IL, 1914, but through the influence of
Capt. VIM. Wheeler, one of the officers of
the American forces, he was enabled to OBJ.
tain discharge, and returned to his family
about three days before my father was born.
Capt. VIM. Wheeler, of whom we spoke,
owned the greater portion of land upon which
is situated the village of Finksburg, then
known as Wheelersburg. Although my father
was not a Carroll countian by birth, as have
explained, yet he resided within her limits
for thirty five years, and in that time he thor
oughly became acquainted with its history,
nolitical and otherwise, and from him | have
been enabled to CLEAN various interesting re-
miniscenes and Incidents concerning the var
ious political campaigns through which he
passed, some of which, perhaps, | shall relate
at future date, but until then all that | can
now say is, that hope that many of those
who assembled in your city to witness the
semi centennial, may have the pleasure ac-
corded them of witnessing the centennial an
niversary fifty years in the future.
Yours Respectfully,
CHAs. l.. SHIPLEY.

We are panied to chronicle the death OF Jas

much esteemed citizens, who died rather un,
expectedly on Easter Monday. The funeral
services took place at the house on last Wed

Cooper, of the Westminster charge, who de-
livered an impressive Grafton from that i'm
portant question asked by Job. "lf man
die shall he live again?'' After which the

A citizen in our neighborhood claims to
have solved the great Lincoln Club puzzle"
and for the benefit of the curious, we give his
method. He divides the prison house, con;
tanning thirty-six cells, into an upper and
lower Story, each having eighteen cells. He
then starts on the lower story at No. marked
A, and proceeds to No. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. then 4,
Is, II, s, o, 16, Is, 10, Il, II, ID and IA,
from which a flight of stairs lands him upon
the 2nd floor in cell No. "a, from which be
proceeds to the following cells: SS, 80, %,
2s, 27, 26, 25, "a, %, %, 81, 20, 10, 80 and
81 at B, out of which he descends fireescape
aud is free. By laying off the cells as pub,
lished by diagram in the Baltimore Sun, and
then cutting the paper in two equal parts in
the direction that the numbers regularly or
orderly occur, and placing them one above
another as the floors in a two story building,
it may readily be seen and understood how
he accomplishes the feat.
The gentleman, whose name is at present
withheld, challenges any person to solve the
puzzle in any other way and claims his as the
correct and only solution.
